Pissed off with colleagues comment about my food?

[LuxeLisbon]

Friday and colleagues decide to go buy breakfast from the canteen, ask if I want to go, I say no thanks I’m just going to have my shake.

Colleague replies “mmm nutritious”

Yes much more nutritious than the giant breakfast cob you’re going to stuff in your mouth.

I like a protein shake after the gym, I still eat 3 good meals each day.

This is a whole new world to me Not just the op's macro hitting but someone else's organic pea protein powder and pea milk! Surly all the goodness gets processed out? And drinking green stuff. It's just not right.

It’s very clear you have issues surrounding food, OP, from the way you talk here and also your reaction to your colleague’s innocent comment.

If you didn’t have issues surrounding food, it wouldn’t have even registered on your radar as a possible insult and you’d have just laughed. But you do, so you got defensive and oversensitive, just like you’re doing here.

Your issues around food are yours to deal with, nobody else’s. Don’t try to take it out on others.

Well you aren't coming over well here I'm afraid. Supercilious and snitty.

It wasn’t an innocent comment at all, like I said previously she’s made multiple comments and it gets tiring. Ever thought that she’s the one with food issues?

If she was sat at her desk eating a cob with bacon, sausage, egg and hash brown .. I wouldn’t be like - yum that’s nutritious!

But I wouldn’t because I don’t register what other people eat because I don’t care. That’s why I find it very strange when people comment on mine.

It comes down to this on MN if you’re overweight and people criticise your food choice then they’re Satan ... if an overweight person comments on a slim persons food then the slim person is superior and lacks a sense of humour.

And you all wonder why there’s an obesity epidemic.

But again, you’re the one commenting on others food choices.

What were you hoping to get out of this thread op? Validation? A chance to make your point? Because it seems to me that you've already decided YANBU and just wanted to tell us all just how right you are

Op the sheer fact you started this thread implies that you Have food issues.

And if you use the same tone with your colleagues you do on here I'm not surprised they're making comments back.

Id bet you're not as popular as you think.

OP if you were 20 stone and complaining about someone picking on you for eating McDonald's for lunch everyday people would be on your side unfortunately because you're not you won't get much sympathy on here! Like I said before I sympathise with you my sister experience this and it isn't nice!

But the op is the one picking on people. The person in question said the words “ mmm nutritious”, the op has mentioning being overweight, people eating bacon, hash browns, sausages and eggs ( not that she ever notices what people eat ) And the giant breakfasts people were going to stuff in their mouths.

You sound a bit uppity and oversensitive op.Maybe you need a good breakfast inside you!

So op youve just stated
*If she was sat at her desk eating a cob with bacon, sausage, egg and hash brown .. I wouldn’t be like - yum that’s nutritious!

But I wouldn’t because I don’t register what other people eat because I don’t care. That’s why I find it very strange when people comment*

Apart from the fact first of these two paragraphs that come from the same post contrdicts the second, op you noticed what she eats because you've told us what she eats literally in efectively the same breath as you saying you don't notice what she eats. If you don't notice how are you able to describe what she eats. It rather suggests you do care.

You find it very strange people comment on food choices do you? Something you'd never do huh?

Only from the very first post
Yes much more nutritious than the giant breakfast cob you’re going to stuff in your mouth

Oh look Op is that you commenting in a very nasty way about what some one gas for breakfast.

So your the strange one thats actally proved that you notice what people eat and comment on it where as your collugue thought it might be nice for you to join them and hadnt registered that you have a shake cos you gad to tell them. Interesting

No because they talk loudly about what they’ve got. If someone announces their meals then you tend to notice what they are eating ... shockingly.

But again this thread has made me realise that if you’re the overweight one making comments then you’ll never be in the wrong.

the slim person is superior and lacks a sense of humour.

No, it's just you without the sense of humour. If this is all you have to get worked up about, you really need to get a grip.

OP what other comments has she made?

I find it bizarre you’re being called nasty when you haven’t made comments to her but she’s made several comments to or about you.

What is a protein shake? Do you mean like a milkshake?

Isn’t it from a show? Where a protagonist offers that something is “nutritious... AND delicious”.

My reply to your colleague would have been a long drawn out “...and delicious” but perhaps I am missing the point.

Gosh this thread, OP you're being rather OTT. Fine to notice if people are showing you of course, if you really didn't care you wouldn't be forming opinions and typing them online so defensively though.
Choosing to reduce the comments and varying points of various people to 'i just wont win here because overweight people will never be in the wrong' type of sentiments if you like but it doesn't change the fact that the posters commenting that you are the one also endlessly commenting about 'overweight' people and 'obesity' and the unhealthy food choices of others, down to noticing exactly what they had, whilst saying that you are above it- are merely observing facts.
At best you are therefore exactly the same as the person you're criticised.Throwaway comments on either of your behalfs don't dictate how well like you are at work, or whether you are a nice person so ignore all that.
Either way does it really matter? You are not needed to police the nations "obesity epidemic" or provide supposition on why it has come to be as though a protein shake is the answer- Jury is definitely out on those, since the protein is so heavily processed it is often denatured . If we are talking mass market protein shakes they are also chock-full of preservatives, artificial sweeteneners, and that's before you add in the milk debate. Perhaps she is aware of this and finds it reasonably unappealing, and assumes that is what you are drinking hence her comment?
No your colleague does not need to comment on your 'healthier' choice either, yes it is i'm sure, annoying. I'm sure has her own rationale behind it, as do you when you comment about the reverse. Try to let it go for your own sanity; it does seem to have hit more of a nerve than it reasonably should if the result is being so snippy.

Too many peas 🤮

You clearly look down on her massive cobb she is going to happily stuff in her mouth so I strongly suspect you said it in one of those condescending superior tones feeling smug about being virtuous in your meal choices.

You didn’t need to mention the protein shake. You could have just said no thanks I’ve got something.

If you’re going to raise the subject then you invite comment on it.

Ps I’m not overweight but did just slip up and eat a brownie 😂. Better do something active later

Are you obsessing over the most minuscule throwaway comment because you're hungry, OP?

But again this thread has made me realise that if you’re the overweight one making comments then you’ll never be in the wrong

No dear if your hypocritical bitchy holithan though judgemental body shamer yes you will be called out for it.

Making comments behond her back and saying things like "stuff your face" and calling her out on being over weight only your not calling her out on being over weight are you because you wouldnt make comments loudly to her face what you will do however is make comments about her weight on an internet forum and judge her for asking you for breakfast and what she eats for breakfast.. thats worse. Thats sneaky anf bitchy you wanted us all to laugh at her and go oh shes over weight and she critisises you. Nope not ok.

I have food issues and now i understand why, the holi than thou fitness industry and tjose that deliver the lines think they can bully and judge but when it cones back to their diets they revert to body shaming

Fuckin hell i wish that was my biggest worry. Chill the fuck out it doesnt matter.

I can certainly understand how it was upsetting at the time. I don't like people making fun of my food choices either, whether it's something healthy or not.

However the fact that you're still brooding on it hours later makes me think something else is worrying you. Sorry if I'm wrong.

So fucking petty. Grow up op.
